LFD Solis - La Sartén - "Gin Hands" (Personal Build)
STILL NOT A BANJO!!! Late last year, I happened upon a good deal on a couple of these kitschy LFD Solis round cigar boxes, and the mad-scientist in me just had to try to build a guitar out of one. The prototype was a hit, and I bonded well with it, so I had to make this one for myself when I received an offer I just couldn't refuse on that one. Just prior to going to play in New Orleans with the Rockin' 1000, I agreed to sell it, and it was a weird time. See, just prior to that I had been invited to join the Gin Hands project my friend Tom (who also plays one of my builds) was putting together to begin crafting and recording a very specifically-themed collection of original songs. I was recruited to play slide guitar, and when I was preparing for the recording session, the prototype called to me to use it to come up with my parts. The recording sessions were delayed and I didn't jinx myself by selling the guitar, but I knew after being inspired with some raunchy, screechy...
